Green Modular Data Centers in a box The need for expansion in data hosting and dissemination has grown exponentially between 1990 and 2011, creating one of the largest growing carbon footprints on the planet. According to CRN (Technology News), the new strategy for IT solution providers to increase capacity, reduce Carbon Footprints and prepare for Disaster recovery is the new wave of containerized Green Modular Data Centers in-a-Box solution. Some of these solutions offer a cooling energy efficiency of up to 95% savings off the carbon footprint / energy usage. According to a report from the EPA to the U.S. congress in 2006, "data centers can be more than 40 times as energy intensive as conventional office buildings," (Greenberg et al. 2006)(Report to Congress on Server and Data Center Energy Efficiency Public Law 109-431 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ENERGY STAR Program August 2, 2007). These portable and self contained turn-key data centers come in many sizes, from 20 ft. to 40 ft. shipping containers, to small close size, motorized on wheels and self powered both for mobility and back-up power in case of outages. The larger of the enclosures for remote locations where entire grids have gone offline are manufactured and available by giants like Dell (NSDQ:Dell), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ), IBM (NYSE:IBM), Liebert, Oracle (NSDQ:ORCL)-Sun, Cisco (NSDQ:CSCO). Solutions for conventional office buildings, are offered by several smaller companies, such as Wave2Wave Solution Corporation in Milpitas, CA, Elliptical Mobile Solutions in Chandler, AZ, and Fujitsu in Tokyo. The most features so far of the three solutions is the wave2wave w-Metro family, which offers three different data center-in-a-box, which boasts an "Up to 95%" cooling energy efficiency that can be used for disaster data-loss prevention and recovery. "One of the Wave2Wave models can withstand a crush force of up to 70,000 pounds, or a .30-cal bullet." (CRN)

There are a projected 14 billion office buildings in the...
